- "The property was beautiful, clean, and bright. We loved having views and direct access to the beach and to the pool. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking most of what we wanted to cook. We enjoyed our stay. You’ll definitely want a car to get anywhere, but we had one, so no problems exploring. We had a great time!" - "If you want a peaceful , close to beach, beach view and well maintained property then look no further. This place has everything if you want to unwind. This place has a beach view and if needed you can just walk over to the inviting ocean. This place also had a swimming pool that my kids loved. There were friendly guards and gated community so it never felt unsafe. The place came with enough beach gear that we used all of it during our stay. The 4 ACs were the best part as it cooled the rooms down within few mins. There are local vendors and food places within 30 min drive, in case you feel the need to shop or eat. Obviously if you need more choices, you can always head down down to other towns or san juan but we loved the local flavors. The owner(Rafael) was super responsive. We had two issues with parking spot and door pin not working. But all was sorted out with little help from Rafael. Overall we had a calm and relaxing stay. We definately would come back again."

Amazing views of the ocean and mountains from the windows and huge roof deck. You may already know Aquatika is a great resort with 5 pools, 3 jacuzzis, 2 playgrounds, a nice beach and facilities for many sports and games. More on Aquatika benefits is below. First here are 15 reasons why this is the best condo there. I wrote headings in caps so you can skim the headings and read the ones that interest you:

1) RECREATIONAL ITEMS INCLUDED: Aquatika does not provide a basketball, volleyball, soccer ball, tennis rackets or mini-golf clubs and balls for use on its facilities made for those things. Most rental owners also don’t provide those things because of the time and money required. But my condo has all of them ready for your use whenever you want. I also provide a football, air pump, 4 big umbrellas, 5 beach chairs, a large beach blanket, many beach towels, a cooler, many Freeze Ice Paks, a swimming noodle, 2 boogie boards, 2 blow-up floaters and 2 sets of children’s snorkeling gear.

2) ALL NEW: All the interior furniture and artwork are new, the hot water heater and microwave are new and the fridge and AC units are like-new. If you have more than 6 people, the dining table has a leaf to easily expand its size to fit 8 people in 8 matching cushioned chairs or 10 people with two other chairs. Also a free washer and dryer and free detergent in the condo.

3) MANY BEDS, LARGE BEDS: This includes 2 king beds, 2 full-size bunk beds, 2 queen sleeper sofas (one in each of the 2 living rooms) and 2 air mattresses (queen and full). Most rental owners don’t spend the money to buy king beds. They almost never have 2 queen sleep sofas. If they buy bunks, they don’t spend the money for full-sized beds up and down.

There are 3 bedrooms plus one sleep sofa is in the upper living room, which has a lot of privacy, a half bathroom and a large armoire with drawers and hangars for clothing. It’s basically like a 4th bedroom, and can also fit a queen air mattress on the floor. The other sleep sofa is in the downstairs living room. You could have 8 people each with their own bed. Or 10 people with sharing.

4) TOP TIER ENTERTAINMENT: the condo has 3 big-screen 4K TVs with the highest-tier, most expensive cable TV package including lots of English-language channels, plus many free on-demand shows and movies. Most rentals have the lowest tier or average tier TV package. All of my TVs connect to a combined DVR that you can record shows and movies to. All TVs are smart and can stream most services. I also have a dozen card / board games.

5) USEFUL GUIDES: I created a top-notch guide of the best things to do in the region. It would take about 70 days to do everything available, and I've put the best 15% into a guide including map links, booking links, advice and nearby restaurants. I spent about 60 hours making the guide, and it will probably save you over 10 hours of your time. Before you arrive, I also send you directions and a guide to the condo.

6) TOP SPEED INTERNET: Super high-speed, high bandwidth Internet that reaches throughout the condo. It is the most expensive tier. It can handle streaming to multiple TVs plus many people using computers and smart-phones at the same time. Most rentals have a low to medium Internet plan. My condo has never had a problem with cell phone reception. But if you ever have weak reception (or if you want to save minutes on your plan), I have a landline with free unlimited calling in the US and PR.

7) ROOF DECK: Most penthouse roof decks are not very well furnished. My roof deck has 2 lounge chairs, a large couch, 2 regular chairs, 6 cushioned dining table chairs, a dining table and a food serving cart.

8) EASE OF ACCESS: It has a front door keypad password so you don’t have to worry about sharing a key or losing the key. It also lets you check-in whenever you want. This is not a lockbox keypad - for which you would still need to either share a key, or open and close the lockbox each time you come or go. Door keypads are far more convenient.

9) VERY LOADED KITCHEN: It has a super well-stocked kitchen including a huge fridge, new microwave, 2-tier oven, coffee maker, tea kettle, toaster, blender, rice cooker and lots of pots/pans, cutting knives, serving bowls, cooking implements and dinnerware. Also 1 water filter in the sink and 1 water filter in the fridge, so you save money not buying bottled water. I have a new air fryer and slow cooker, but I don't guarantee these because if they break, it takes time to get a new one.

10) COMFORTS: All rooms have blinds including the living room. The BRs have both blinds and light-blocking shades. All BRs and both living rooms have their own separate AC units / zones that you can set to the exact temperature you want. The showers have very large shower heads, and are stocked with 2 shampoo types, 2 conditioner types and 2 body washes. In all: 4 shampoo types and 4 conditioner types.

11) REALLY BEACHFRONT: It’s one of only 8 beachfront penthouse condos. Beware many owners say “beachfront,” but are not. Check if any photos show views of the beach from the living room and roof deck.

12) CLOSEST: Of the 8 beachfront penthouses, it’s one of the two closest to the beach. It’s also 200 feet from the only heated pool and Aquatika clubhouse.

13) PENTHOUSE BENEFITS: The penthouses have much bigger living rooms, plus a 2nd living room (that can be used as a 4th bedroom), enormous windows, a 3rd bathroom, a huge roof deck and no noise coming from neighbors upstairs. By contrast, the 1st and 2nd floor units have a small living room, no 2nd living room, no 3rd bathroom, no roof deck, small windows, and neighbors’ music, arguments and footsteps above you.

14) FULL OCEAN AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS: My building is one of only a few that face the ocean on the front side (to the east) and face the rainforest mountains on the back side (to the west). By contrast, most Aquatika buildings are north/south, and don’t face either the beach or the mountains. The back sides face low-income neighborhoods, and the front windows face directly at other condos. So you’re looking at other condos that are looking at you. Moreover, they have either no views of the ocean and mountains, or very limited views. 100% of my windows have very nice views of the ocean or the mountains.

15) END UNIT PLUSES: My condo is an end unit, which has 3 benefits: A) 2 extra bedroom windows with lovely ocean views. B) In middle units, on one side you have neighbors 10 feet away PLUS on the other side, you have neighbors directly on the other side of the condo wall. Ends units only have the former, with open space on the other side. In total, my unit only has direct neighbors below, while non-penthouse middle units have neighbors above, below and to the side: they have triple the number of neighbors. C) on a middle unit roof deck, the majority of the wall areas are tall, so you can’t see over them. But the end unit deck has mostly short walls you can see over, and only one tall wall on 1/2 of one side. This makes the views far wider and beautifully stunning.

IMPORTANT: Most resorts charge a nightly resort fee of $40 to $90 per room, with 3 bedrooms being $120 to $180 a night of resort fees, and $600 to $900 for 5 nights. So this rental website is only set up to charge nightly resort fees. Fortunately Aquatika only charges a very low one-time resort fee of $10 per person for the whole stay for a bracelet that must be worn to enter. Since this site can’t handle a one-time resort fee, it isn't included in the rental price.

You need to send me a list of names and pay the fee 7 days before arrival; or within 24 hours if you book within 7 days, or within a half day if you book within 4 days. I’ll email you links to 3 payment method options. Almost all Aquatika rentals do the same approach. You receive the bracelets at the front gate when you arrive.At least one of the names must match a passport of any country, or a driver’s license from PR or North America.

The resort has a limit of 10 people per rental including infants. Naturally this means extra guests can't visit. Otherwise, people can book one condo and have 40 visitors, which would make the facilities too crowded for you. So this protects your enjoyment. At my condo, a base number of guests are included for free, and a small fee exists for each extra guest above that number. Enter your number of guests in the search field, and the price will reflect that.

THE REST IS MORE AQUATIKA INFORMATION:

Aquatika has 5 pools, 3 hot tubs, 2 half-court basketball courts, 2 tennis courts, 4 pickle ball courts, 2 nice playgrounds with tunnel slides, volleyball court, mini-golf course and a huge grass field for soccer, football, frisbee or yoga. There's excellent security that keeps out anyone who's not a guest, so you're very safe.

Aquatika has a semi-private, sandy beach with trees for shade, an exciting water slide open on weekends, and one of the only heated pools in PR, and it’s only 200 feet from the condo. None of the resorts or condo complexes in the eastern third of PR have a heated pool. I know since I have a medical problem that causes no body heat, so a condo with a heated pool was my top factor. FYI: the winding pool is not a lazy river with motion. It's also the coldest pool as the buildings are close and block the sun.

The resort is also close to many stores, restaurants and 4 big supermarkets. It's only 30 minutes from the airport and 20 from the entrance to the El Yunque rainforest park. There's a Walgreens, Marshalls and Walmart 10 minutes away that's open late where you can get just about anything you need. Even if you forget to bring something, you can most likely get it for a very good price nearby.

- "This is a home away from home. Our host, Peter, thought of everything. With a party of 8 and children ranging from 3 to 12, the condo provided the perfect space to relax and enjoy a wonderful beach experience." - "I could go on and on about what a great place this is. The unit itself was very clean; VERY well stocked including kitchen, baths and laundry. Wonderful selection of beach/pool toys, cooler, chairs, towels. Indoor and outdoor games. The view is incredible. The beach was perfect/AWESOME for us. Shade for those who wanted it. Calm enough water for our three-year-old to enjoy. Lots of things to do close by IF you want to leave the resort. It was a really great vacation in no small part due to how great this location is and the over-and-above efforts of our host. Super great communication. We'd advise to bring closed-toed water shoes as there are some rocks in the water in some spots."
